Nice pickup Harald but unfortunately that's for MSTeams admin center. We're looking to apply to Azure AD Devices. It's promising though if they litmus test it in MSTeams.
- Harald_SteindlJan 25, 2022Iron ContributorDid you read the linked article OR did you judge just by looking on the URL?
The article links to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/roles/admin-units-manage#add-an-administrative-unit
Which clearly shows that this is to be done in Azure AD and Teams only picks up the administrative units done in Azure AD.
But maybe I misinterpret your posting.- dridleyJan 27, 2022Copper ContributorI did read the entire article 😀
But as per Joe's original post, i can tell you that i can't create device-based admin units in AAD. Options are only users or groups.
I did try referencing a group of devices without success.
My take on the Teams article you referenced is that Teams admin portal maybe/can leverage admin unit groups that have devices in them. Dunno. A question i might run by MS maybe.
